I thought to count the stars last night
Glistening softly in my sight
Each one as a diamond laid
Upon a velvet gown displayed
Too many gemstones there were set
Upon that canvass, black as jet,
Too many for my eyes to grasp
Too many for my soul to clasp
Such beauty was beyond my reach
For I would hold them all, as each
Would so illume my fretted mind
And light the darkness hid behind
O starry night you move me so
To yonder regions I would go
In search of each and every one
Until all shadows then were gone
Wandering, seeking through the night
Upon the misty moon take flight
Across that vast and ancient world
Wherein such treasures be unfurled
Where life becomes, where love is born
My heart, my spirit to adorn
With every star that ever shone
That I may live forever on
O starry night, you fill my soul
With all your glory to extol
Forever set as shining eyes
Transporting me to Paradise
